The Case for Black With a Capital B

State Senator Bill Owens - 1974

Newly-elected State Senator Bill Owens talks about the need for the people to speak out in order for political change to happen. "The primary elite recognizes one thing: the amount of money it's going to make. And if people say, 'We're not going to allow you to make that money on a continuous basis unless you are willing to distribute it to us, the people,' the primary elite will then begin to understand that the people mean business."
